> forget the phony ethics, and focus on the best version of this technology I’ve experimented a lot between the censored and uncensored versions of Llama 2. Based on this, I’ve concluded that fine-tuning for political correctness and ethics negatively affects all answers. They become repetitive and washed out.

I hope this technology keeps improving to the point we can run it on our own machines. It's too good to be censored.

    I'm sorry. Are you implying I'm not supposed to know about any of those things you cited? That it's "sensitive" information, not meant for people like me? Your post is the exact reason why we need uncensored models running in a distributed manner.
